 | | The wapiti, or American elk, Cervus elaphus canadensis, the largest living deer, family Cervidae, next to the moose, is now found only in remote areas of the Rocky Mountains and Canada, principally in national parks. |
 | | Victims of declining open space and overhunting, wapiti require large tracts of semiopen woodland in which to forage for grasses, twigs, leaves, and other plant material. |
 | | The neck and shoulders of the wapiti are covered with a shaggy mane; the coat is brownish gray with a whitish yellow rump patch. |
